scottie bowman is gonna get canned

IMetTrentGreen · 07-08-2005, 12:28 PM

look for the red wings to announce they are letting him go soon. got word from a decent source about this. they have someone else in mind, was all i was told. couldn't tell me whom even though he knew

odd move, at least for someone who doesn't follow hockey all that closely

henry296 · 07-08-2005, 12:33 PM

Bowman isn't the coach anymore... They let go of Dave Lewis and are probably hiring Mike Babcock.

sovereignstar · 07-08-2005, 12:38 PM

Who the fuck is your "source"? Honolulu_Blue?

Ksyrup · 07-08-2005, 12:56 PM

I hear the Tigers are sick of this rebuilding shit year after year and are letting Sparky Anderson go.

i think his source is espn.com.

"dave, we're firing you."
"why?"
"you didnt win one game last year!"

I don't know what is funnier - the "decent source" part or the "doesn't follow hockey all that closely" part

The Red Wings follow hockey about as closely as a team can, I would imagine.

Philliesfan980 · 07-08-2005, 04:01 PM

I really don't know how Wayne Fontes has managed to keep his job this long.

Subby · 07-08-2005, 04:05 PM

I hear Oklahoma has a pretty good recruit named Tommy Harris...kid is going to be an awesome pro one day...

I think the new coordinators this year will really fit in with the team and push it over the hump. The new coordinators last year just didn't fit. The new offense and defense will be more like the previous offense and defense which should help with the confusion. The offense and defense lastr year were just too different from the previous year's offense and defense which took a while to adjust to after the previous years coordinator's were fired just when the team started to adjust from the previous year's coordinators.

One thing you can always count on Wayne to do is fire them coordinators!

Yeah I heard this new Silver Stretch offense they are bringing in is really the bee's knees.

Swaggs · 07-08-2005, 06:12 PM

Mark my words, the Lions are going to regret drafting Barry Sanders while Tim Worley was on the board.

They'll be fine as long as Ty Cobb is still leading off.

Greyroofoo · 07-08-2005, 07:08 PM

I'm sure glad the chargers picked Ryan Leaf with the 2nd overall pick

BigJohn&TheLions · 07-08-2005, 07:20 PM

I thinkm the Drive will win the Arenabowl again this year.

timmynausea · 07-08-2005, 07:38 PM

Rick Mirer just had an awesome rookie season. I have a source that says he'll be much better than Bledsoe.

sachmo71 · 07-08-2005, 07:39 PM

man, this is funny

BigJohn&TheLions · 07-08-2005, 09:23 PM

Damn I wish Hebert was the QB for the Lions, but I bet the Panthers win several titles in the next few years.

klayman · 07-08-2005, 09:45 PM

As long as Johnny Ogrodnick is back, the Wings will be fine. He's the heart of the team anyway.

JeffNights · 07-08-2005, 09:57 PM

Yes, that Bob Probert is such a great guy off the ice, he's a role model for all the young fans.

Philliesfan980 · 07-08-2005, 10:45 PM

Lance Parrish is a hall of fame catcher!

sterlingice · 07-08-2005, 11:03 PM

I feel good about another Penn State RB for the Bears. That first one just had to be a fluke.

SI

TLK · 07-08-2005, 11:22 PM

With an outfield stacked with Lemon, Gibson, Herndon and Grubb..... how can the Tigers not repeat in 85'?

Suicane75 · 07-08-2005, 11:29 PM

Woot! I heard on the radio earlier that we traded for Lenny Dykstra, let the rebuilding begin.

TLK · 07-08-2005, 11:35 PM

I can't believe the Pistons left Rick Mahorn unprotected in the expansion draft.... after everything he has done for this city.... that is bull-shit.

Dude, can you imagine he and Barkley on the same team?

sovereignstar · 07-08-2005, 11:42 PM

Earlier today my Uncle Tony walked to the store to pick up a pack of cigarettes and stopped on the way to watch a little streetball. He kept on rambling on about this one kid. Lopez or something. Felipe Lopez, that's it. I guess he's gonna be a star.

sterlingice · 07-09-2005, 12:36 AM

Sam Bowie!

SI

THE TIGERS JUST GOT DOYLE ALEXANDER FROM ATLANTA!!!

All they had to give up was a minor leaguer too! This is totally awesome!!!

In all seriousness..

Alexander pitched like a motherfucker after we acquired him. That was a decent trade for the Tigers, and I wouldn't have it any other way....

JeeberD · 07-09-2005, 01:21 AM

How dare the Astros trade away Larry Andersen for some light hitting third baseman?!?! We've already got the great Camo on third...where is this Bagwell kid gonna go?

I know, I know... But it still was a trade that 10 years later you shook your head and said "Damn, did they have to give up Smoltz?" Hell, in the postseason you started saying it.

Ksyrup · 07-09-2005, 09:28 AM

The Dodgers stole Delino Deshields from the Expos for nothing more than a middle reliever!

Pumpy Tudors · 07-09-2005, 10:42 AM

I'm already getting my celebration started! My Cardinals are up 3-1 on the Royals. We're going to have our second World Series title in four years! Woohoo!

bbor · 07-09-2005, 10:53 AM

I think this Gordie Howe kid is gonna be a player.

Philliesfan980 · 07-09-2005, 10:58 AM

This is seriously one of the greatest threads of all time

I'm glad that the Red Sox have traded away Clemens, I think his best days are behind him.

Pumpy Tudors · 07-09-2005, 11:08 AM

With stars like Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Herschel Walker, and Sam Mills, this USFL can go for a long time. Arena Football doesn't stand a chance!

can't give you that one.
a lot of Dodger fans (myself included) were pretty down on this trade when it happened.

duckman · 07-09-2005, 11:15 AM

I heard the Dallas Cowboys hired Jimmy Johnson. I bet they win a couple of Super Bowls.
